cm COUNCIL IN
The pity coum-il adjourned in n
iliaill"fk Inst nif-'ht lifter a stormy
Kcsxion considering the plan nilvniN1
iil by which tile city shall pay for
paviiifr Mreet inteiseetions, and SO per
cent of the remaining paving assess
ments, (.'ouneilmen Davis, Keene
and Amy stood far its adoption, while
Kniiiuins and Mann were against it.
Mayor Kmeriek is favorably inclined
toward the measure, but eatinot vote
except ill a tie. And in this matter a
two-thirds vole of the eouneil is nec
essary before the amendment can be
placed before the people at a special
elceiion.
Councilman Margraves is in the cast
and it bus been suggested that he be
wired to send in his resignation. As
his term of office expires January 1,
llai'graves expressed ft desire before
leaving to resign. In event bis res
ignalion is asked, another member will
be appointed by the mayor and ap
proved by the eouneil, in which ease,
if the new member is in favor of put
ting the amendment to vote, the
deadlock will be broken.
Oonflletliig Opinion
Councilman Davis this morning ex
pressed the opinion that something
should be done to encourage the prop
erty owner to hold his property rather
than to give it up for delinquencies.
The !0-"0 plan, he believes, will have
the desired effect. On somo prop
erly, he explained, the cost of assess
ments is greater than the value of
the properly, and unless the city does
assume its part the property will bo
given up, in which case it will be nec
essary lor the city to either legally
clear the title or hold the property in
definitely. Councilman Jfann, who stood firm
against the measure, says he repre
sents the attitude of the merchants.
He objects to bnving his .stock taxed
for the payment of paving. He snys
the merchants are already paying for
the paving before their stores ill in
creased rents mid considers it unfair
that merchants should pay whal is
virtually a double tax.
Mann asserted that all .should lie
compelled to pay their assessments,
that Ihe proposed plan was in reality
nothing but a scheme for the benefit
of real estate speculators, lie as
serted that half of the assessments
have already been paid.
The figures on payments oblnined
from the city recorder, however, do
not bear out his statement..:
$:Mi2,nno Xow PaUt
Out of a total of $1)18,000 of 'as
sessments, .$:!(i'2,000 have been paid,
leaving $M0.OOfl yet unpaid.
Mayor Kmeriek, while partially in
favor of the plan, yet believes that
the safest and best, way out nf the
difficulty is in starting a suit to de
termine ' the legality of the assess
ments. The city attorney, he stated,
was given an addition of $25 a
month in salary, beginning last win
ter, to pay for prosecuting the suit.
However, in that lime nothing has
' been done.
The matter will be taken up again
nt the regular meeting next Tuesday
night, and if an agreement is not
reached it is probable a new eouneil
member will be appointed.

OLD-TIME AIRS PLEASE
CROWD AT BAND CONCERT
The "Old-Timers" Band concert
given by the Medford band undor tho
direction of Bandmaster Rowland at
the city park on Wednesday evening
was a decided success. Poasibjy the
largest crowd of the season was In
attendance and the popular verdict
was that the old time favorite songs
are more enjoyable to listen to than
the rag-time that Is In vogue at the
present time. The selection of old
hymns was the favorite number of the
evening and the audience would not
be satisfied until the band repeated
their good performance. The Amer
ican Patrol was also a great favorite,
the effects by the drums and other In
struments seemed - to particularly
please. Among the many old delight.
ful airs that were so well played by
Mr. Rowland's band on Tuesday even
ing were "Evening by the Moonlight",
"Tales of Hoffman", "Robin Adair
and "Killamey" which was played as
a concert solo by Mr. Walto. Some
time before the close of this the most
successful hand season, the repeating
ot tills identical program would find
favor with the majority of the concert
goers who attend the band concerts.
For the balance of the week the band
wilt lie an attractive feature at the
Jackson County Fair.

STATE SAYS
T
That Woodrow Wilson has an ex
cellent chaneo of carrying Oregon Is
the opinion of ex-Governor Oswald
West who spent Thursday In Medford.
In the afternoon he consulted the
county court aa special attorney for
the department of the lntorlor In re
gard to the payment of delinquent
taxes by tho government on the 0.
& C. land grant, and in the evening
discusses the prohibition amendment
at the Presbyterian church .and the
tax limitation amendment at the pub
lic library.
"I have hcen all over the state,"
says Mr. West, "and the general sen
timent is, that while there Is little ob
jectionable to Mr. Hughes, the people
have little to expect from the crowd
barking him. The Interests ot the
people are not the Interests of the
Wall street clique, the reactionaries
and the old guard, and that Mr.
Hughes, If elected, would either hnve

to break faith with those who nomi
nated him and are back of his cam
paign, or betray tho people, and tho
latter are not going to take a chance."
Asked regarding the payment of
delinquent taxes Mr. West stated that
the taxes would be paid Just as quick
ly as the records were verified. To
expedite this was the object of his
Jacksonville visit. .
